wait, so you did fully install Windows? or did it go from the setup straight to that error?

Sounds like a boot drive rather than an installation drive. Use Windows Media creation tool to make an installation drive.

I used a laptop to download the windows 10 media creation tool and used the BIOS to make sure the pc booted from the usb as soon as it booted up that error came up

ok. in the midea creation tool, select iso file rather than the usb option. save the iso somethere. 

 

then, download rufus, and use that to make your install usb.

I did that. I have windows 10 on the usb, the problem i have is that when i boot from usb it says that windows failed to start

Could it be the hard drive in the PC and not the USB you're booting to?
